Times MagazineIn December of 2012, Time Magazine decided to announce that Barack Obama had won their annual “Person of the Year”. For obvious reasons Barack Obama is a leader, not only to his family but to the United States of America acting as our President in office at this point in time. In December of 2011, Time Magazine came out with “The Protesters” as the “Person of the Year”. People who look at protesters never really look at how they can be leaders; they only see the negative things that come from someone protesting something. But throughout this article, the reader will discover that some protesters are protesting positive things that need reform.

Throughout the 2012 article, it begins with the tale of what the President did and acted like before he was reelected for his second term in office. It portrays the President in a way that most people do not see; henceforth more people might be able to relate to the one person that is in charge of our country. According to the article, this was the time that people would see Obama’s last term as something more than the negative connotations it had been given in the past. His reelection meant that people saw some sort of hope in him that they wouldn’t voice in years prior, even though he was four million votes shorter than in 2008.

I think Time Magazine chose Barack Obama has the “Person of the Year” because of his enthusiasm going into the second election, and the way that he has held himself up throughout not only his first term, but during and after his reelection campaign. During the article it is relayed over and over how much adversity Obama went through to get where he is today. No one thought, according to the article, that he would have a fighting chance in the second election. It was said he was losing the young people and most of the following Latinos to the Republicans. Although it looked grim however, Obama managed to overcome adversity and show everyone that he wasn’t...

(GH Hardy , Ramanujan and Littlewood)
The great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on the 22nd of December 1887 in Erode, Tamilnadu.
In a function held in the Centenary Hall of Madras University on the 26th of December 2011 marking the 125th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh proclaimed:
“Our government has decided to declare his birthday, that is December 22nd, as the National Mathematics Day and the year2012 as a whole as the National Mathematics Year”.
He said that India has a long and glorious tradition of mathematics that we need to encourage and nurture. “I hope these steps will help in providing additional impetus to the study of mathematics in our country and make our people more aware of the work of Ramanujan”.
The last part of the Prime Minister’s statement: “... to make our people aware of the work of Ramanujan” is very significant. The actual work of Ramanujan and its significance is known only to a handful of very high level mathematicians. However, one need not be surprised at this owing to the very nature of the subject of mathematics itself.
In a survey conducted amongst educated Indians in 1987, the centenary year of Ramanujan’s birth, the celebrated...

...hot springs, the effect of this pollution is very small when compared to that caused by emissions from industrial sources, power and heat generation, waste disposal, and the operation of internal combustion engines. Fuel combustion is the largest contributor to air pollutant emissions, caused by man, with stationary and mobile sources equally responsible. The air pollution problem is encountered outdoor as well as indoor.
Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause discomfort, disease, or death to humans, damage other living organisms such as food crops, or damage the natural environment or built environment. The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems. Air pollution started very early in Earth's history. As primitive life stared producing oxygen, anaerobic life saw this as pollution and died off. As time passed volcanoes, forest fires, CO2 emissions from vents - all polluted the atmosphere When man arrived we added an even greater variety of pollutants. When the first cave person started a fire in his cave, and found that the smoke had to be sent somewhere, and fresh air had to be drawn in.

There is still no sign of any initiatives in taking legal actions against Hong Kong based Noel G Carey, overseas director of Destiny Group, who played key role in trafficking millions of dollars abroad into various banks accounts of the bigwigs of the fraudulent MLM racket.
Anti-Corruption Commission told reporters that, so far they have initiated legal actions against Destiny Group for swindling US$ 410 million from above five million investors. It may be mentioned here that, Destiny Group cashed above US$ 1.5 billion from the investors by selling non-existent trees under its plantation project. The MLM racket sold each of the packages of 10 trees to the investors against TK 20,000 and until September 2012, it has already sold more than 6 million packages of trees to the innocent investors....

MLK was Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" in the year of 1963. In total however, he has been on the cover 5 times. He has also been listen in Time's "100 People of the 20th Century". This is an excerpt from the article in Time's magazine called "King's Last March" and it was written about 2 weeks after Kings death:
"The march King led in death through Atlanta proved grander- both in attendance and dedication to his ideals- than any he had led in life. Fully 200,000 Americans, black and white, walked the sun beaten streets of the Peach State's capital in temperatures that reached 82 degrees F."
Time Magazine also wrote that MLK was the personification of the civil rights movement. He was seeking to transform his anger against a segregated and hateful world, he found a weapon in Gandhi's teachings of nonviolent resistence. Such qualities of a man are major reasons as to why MLK was named 1963's Time Man of the Year....

...Candy is "a tall, stoop-shouldered old man … . He was dressed in blue jeans and carried a big push-broom in his left hand." His right hand is simply a stump because he lost his hand in a ranch accident. Now the owners of the ranch keep him on as long as he can "swamp" out or clean the bunkhouse. Candy gives Steinbeck an opportunity to discuss social discrimination based on age and handicaps. Candy represents what happens to everyone who gets old in American society: They are let go, canned, thrown out, used up. Candy's greatest fear is that once he is no longer able to help with the cleaning he will be "disposed of." Like his old dog, he has lived beyond his usefulness.
Candy and his dog parallel the relationship of George and Lennie. Like Candy's dog, Lennie depends on George to take care of him and show him what to do. Candy, like George, is different from the other ranch hands because he has his dog as a constant companion, someone devoted and loyal to him. When the unfeeling Carlson suggests that Candy's dog be put out of its misery, Candy abdicates the responsibility to Carlson. He tells George later that he should have shot his dog himself, foreshadowing George's decision to take responsibility for Lennie's death and "be his brother's keeper."
Candy also plays a significant role in the dream, providing the money needed to make the down payment. Because of Candy, the dream almost becomes real. Candy's down payment causes George to believe that,...

...Man of the Year
"Politicians and diapers both have to be changed frequently, and for the same reason," quoted by the independent Presidential candidate, Tom Dobb. In Man of the Year I saw a lot of course concepts we covered this semester such as, the political parties, special interest groups, the voting system and how easy it can be corrupted. Tom Dobb was just a comedian who his audience wanted him to run for President. Tom Dobb was convinced and ran as an independent candidate and told his fans how the system is corrupted and wanted change. He promised as a presidential candidate he would not use a cent for commercials or any type of advertisement, which meant he had no special interest groups. Dobbs thought spending that money was ridicules and could be used for better reasons. When he was told he was chosen to participate in the presidential debate, he was ecstatic. This is where Dobbs stepped forward, and let all the people know how he really felt, by making jokes about the two party system, stating that the candidates should be truthful. The moderator told Dobbs to stop making a mockery out of this debate, and Dobbs replied back, this already was a mockery before I got here. Later when Dobbs found out he was elected President, Ellen found a glitch in the voting system and had to tell somebody. That somebody was Dobbs. This is where Dobbs stepped up and told the country on national television what happened....
